Provide Reusable Menstrual Kits to Girls in Uganda

Dear JOCF Community, 

We are so grateful to say that we are only $100 away from meeting our goal for the 2025 Reusable Menstrual Kits program. With your generous contributions, we have been able to provide essential mentstrual hygiene products to the young women and girls attending Joy of Community Foundation partner schools. 

As we inch closer to meeting our goal, we would like to encourage you to make a final contribution towards this project. Each small amount helps us meet the needs of the students working diligently to build a brighter future in Engari. 

Your contributions cannot be understated. UNICEF statistics have indicated that 1 in 4 girls in Uganda regularly miss school during their period due to a lack of appropriate hygiene products and 65% of rural girls are forced to use items that expose them to potential infections. 

Providing appropriate hygiene products ensures that young women are able to attend school comfortably and confidently. It provides security and consistency, so that young women can focus on their goals and dreams. Each child deserves that level of care and consideration and each kit we distribute shows to these young women that their health, happiness, and education matter. Each contribution made is a gesture of kindness extended across the world. 

We thank you for your generous donations and encourage you to make a final contribution to help us support the young women of our international community. 

With warmest regards,
